                                        Washington, March 27, 2018.
Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National 
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic 
termination of a national emergency unless, within 90 days 
before the anniversary date of its declaration, the President 
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress 
a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect 
beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, 
I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the 
enclosed notice stating that the national emergency declared in 
Executive Order 13694 of April 1, 2015, as amended by Executive 
Order 13757 of December 28, 2016, is to continue in effect 
beyond April 1, 2018.
    Significant malicious cyber-enabled activities originating 
from or directed by persons located, in whole or in substantial 
part, outside the United States continue to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, 
and economy of the United States. Therefore, I have determined 
that it is necessary to continue the national emergency 
declared in Executive Order 13694, as amended by Executive 
Order 13757, with respect to significant malicious cyber-
enabled activities.

            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.













                                 Notice

                              ----------                              
                              
                              
 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Significant 
                   Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities

    On April 1, 2015, by Executive Order 13694, the President 
declared a national emergency pursuant to the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal 
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States 
constituted by the increasing prevalence and severity of 
malicious cyber-enabled activities originating from, or 
directed by persons located, in whole or in substantial part, 
outside the United States. On December 28, 2016, the President 
issued Executive Order 13757 to take additional steps to 
address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
13694.
    These significant malicious cyber-enabled activities 
continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on 
April 1, 2015, must continue in effect beyond April 1, 2018. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National 
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year 
the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13694, as 
amended by Executive Order 13757.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                   Donald J. Trump.
    The White House, March 27, 2018.
